Urban God of War: The Live-in Son-in-law

Is it inhumane for a woman to be childless?

Ye Feng turned his head away from Su Ping; such feudal thoughts ultimately tormented one's self.

But it's not surprising; although the modern era is quite open, such openness still exists to an extreme. The poorer are more conservative, and the richer are also more keen to conserve, for they are clearer on how to continue their legacy.

Su Ping also came from a Great Family. Ye Feng knew this when she mentioned that Su Yu was her cousin.

"Uncle has been lying there for so many years. If he could get up, what would he most like to do?"

Ye Feng changed the subject and started chatting casually with Xu Tiefeng.

It seemed casual, yet it held deeper meaning.

"I have never really thought about it."

"I always wanted to make a trip to the Lie Yingling. Everyone in Northern Su knows I'm a descendant of one of the Ten Great Famous Generals, yet I don't even know what kind of achievements my old man had. Isn't it a bit ridiculous?"

At this point, Xu Tiefeng's tone became much more gentle; he didn't dare to raise his voice anymore.

"Not ridiculous at all!"

"Indeed, the Minggong Pavilion inside the Lie Yingling does contain the lifelong records of the Chief."

Ye Feng suddenly became somewhat silent.

Minggong Pavilion!

The so-called Minggong, as its name suggests, is the clear record of achievements, documented clearly in black and white, all archived. A Minggong Pavilion doesn't just hold the portraits of the Chiefs.

Stored within are all the contributions made by soldiers, both great and small, for Xuanyuan Nation from before and after its founding.

Unfortunately!

No matter how dazzling the achievements, they were all sealed within the Minggong Pavilion. Anyone who entered the Minggong Pavilion had to promise that they could look but not speak.

"Can Chief Ye tell me about it?"

Xu Tiefeng asked.

"I can't do that. Uncle, since you wish to know, why not make a trip to the Lie Yingling yourself someday? With your status, you could enter the Minggong Pavilion."

Ye Feng said with a smile as he refused.

"Haha!" Stay updated via My Virtual Library Empire

"I'll take it as you came to comfort me. I'll ask the old man myself another day."

Xu Tiefeng hadn't finished laughing before he coughed again.

"It's not a comfort!"

"It's not that difficult for Uncle to stand up again," Ye Feng said confidently.

"You say it isn't just talk, but I know my own body. Even the healers from the Divine Doctor Sect can't do anything."

"It's really just that I would like to see for myself, ah! The old man really is no good. Back in the day when I constantly wanted to join the army, he resisted to the death. If I had joined, wouldn't I know everything by now?"

Xu Tiefeng's tone was filled with helplessness and deep nostalgia.

This!

Ye Feng could only be silent upon hearing this; he did not understand whether Elder Xu was worried about his offspring being pampered in the military or whether, having seen too much life and death, he didn't want his son to follow in those footsteps.

"A blessing in disguise," Ye Feng uttered, when he found it difficult to answer.

"You've seen me make a fool of myself."

Xu Tiefeng quickly composed himself.

Whether the old man is good or not, everyone in Xuanyuan Nation knows Xu Yongyi is one of the Ten Great Famous Generals. If he isn't good, then I'm even lesser so.

"Uncle is willing to confide in me. Ye Feng is too happy to complain. It's just, the person on the roof, don't you intend to call him out for an introduction?"

Ye Feng didn't continue speaking.

He watched long enough and should have had his fill. Does he really think if I made a move, he would be able to stop me?

"That was discourteous of me."

"Uncle Tao, come down."

Xu Tiefeng said with an apologetic face and then lightly called out.

"Chief Ye truly is young and talented. My apologies."

Soon after, an old man dressed in a white robe came in from outside and apologized to Ye Feng with his fists cupped.

"Not to be repeated!"

Ye Feng said sternly. Anyone who dared to spy on him, if this were at the Northern Border Camp, would not live for a minute.

"Heh heh!"

The old man clearly didn't take it seriously; the only reason he showed respect was for Xu Tiefeng's sake. But the latter was so proud.

"If you won't listen, then get out."

A flash of gold, and in an instant, Ye Feng appeared right in front of the old man.

How is this possible?

The old man's eyes widened as he looked at Ye Feng, who was now within arm's reach, and then at the Great Hand he had no strength to defend against.

Bang!

A palm landed on the old man's body, and the torrential Qi Force gushed out like a burst dam, sending him flying.

"Uncle Tao?"

Watching the figure that was sent flying, Su Ping could hardly believe her eyes and rubbed them in disbelief.

"Don't worry, he won't die."

Ye Feng returned to his seat, obviously speaking to Xu Tiefeng.

As expected, after a few moments, the old man came back to the room, bent deeply towards Ye Feng, and said with a heart still filled with fear:

"Thank you, Chief Ye, for sparing my life."

As he spoke, his back was already covered in cold sweat.

"Not to be repeated!"

Ye Feng repeated the phrase.

"Definitely!"

This time, the old man didn't dare to laugh and solemnly responded.

"You've made a fool of me again, Chief Ye."

Xu Tiefeng hurriedly spoke up to resolve the awkwardness, his face flushing with embarrassment.

"Uncle, do you wish to stand up?"

Ye Feng's aura retracted as he turned to ask.

"Chief Ye, do you really have a method that will enable Tiefeng to stand?"

Compared to Xu Tiefeng, the elder obviously did not take the comment as a joke, though he found it somewhat unbelievable as well.

"Do you assume I have come here for a good laugh?"

"Of course, I have a method, but you'll need to summon the person from the Divine Doctor Sect who treated you, and bring me the prescription as well," Ye Feng said.

In the end, Ye Feng decided to reach out and heal Xu Tiefeng.

It wasn't because he was a descendant of the Ten Great Famous Generals, but rather because of something Xu Tiefeng had mentioned without intention—he had always wanted to join the army.

For a patriot to enlist, that reason was enough!

"Not to hide from Chief Ye, it was all the same person."

"I will go to the Divine Doctor Sect now and ask for someone."

The elder's expression grew darker; Ye Feng's words had made him think of many things.

"Thank you for your troubles, Uncle Tao!"

Xu Tiefeng also spoke, feeling that something was amiss. After drinking the medicine for so long,

His health got worse instead of better?

An hour later, the elder returned, accompanied by two individuals from the Divine Doctor Sect, and upon seeing one of them, Ye Feng paused momentarily.

That person was also startled, and then overwhelmed with ecstasy.

"How come you're here?"

Ye Feng looked at the middle-aged woman in red. His half-disciple, who was also the Vice Sect Leader of the Divine Doctor Sect, Yu Feiyu.

"Hearing that my master was in Northern Su, I rushed over last night. When I heard something was happening here, I came to take a look—never expected to run into you." Yu Feiyu replied with a smile.

What was this all about?

The elder was befuddled, Xu Tiefeng was too, and the remaining person from the Divine Doctor Sect was even more confused.

"Why come over? There's nothing left for me to teach you."

Ignoring the astonished looks from everyone, Ye Feng's increasingly revealed identities from the moment he stepped into the Northern Border, were destined to be shown to the public one by one.

"Master, is it proper for you to drive away your disciple like this? Can't you let me honor you as a token of respect? Aren't you afraid that my heart will grow cold?" Yu Feiyu's gaze now carried the ultimate grievance.

"Enough. Stop acting spoiled, or I'll have you instantly roll back to the capital."

Looking at his female disciple who was more than a decade his senior, Ye Feng was utterly troubled.

If there was someone in the world Ye Feng felt was "difficult to deal with," Yu Feiyu would undoubtedly be one of them. Born with six fingers and a compassionate heart, she was destined to be an excellent candidate for learning medicine and healing the world—moreover, she was also the daughter of a good friend from the Divine Doctor Sect.

"Alright, as long as you don't send me away, I'll do whatever you wish."

That statement sounded somewhat odd, but the others chose to ignore it.

Joking!

Who was Yu Feiyu?

One of the three unapproachable figures of the capital, her reputation well-known even to those who had never been there, the Vice Sect Leader of the Divine Doctor Sect, the spinster blossom of the capital.

There was a rumor that whoever married Yu Feiyu would gain control over the entire Divine Doctor Sect.

Don't ask why just look at the surname and given name of the Sect Leader of the Divine Doctor Sect, and who her father was, and you'll understand.

"Did you treat Xu Tiefeng's illness?" Ye Feng's gaze flicked to the still stunned member of the Divine Doctor Sect.

"Yes, it was me, my lord!" Zeng Hong timidly responded.

"Heart-renewing Grass and Sunflower used together will block a person's Eight Extraordinary Meridians, don't you know that?" Ye Feng's eyes suddenly turned frosty.

"Zeng Hong, what good have you done as the Sect Leader of the Divine Doctor Sect in Su City?" Upon hearing Ye Feng's words, Yu Feiyu sensed something was amiss and immediately her pretty brows furrowed, her face turning hostile.

"Lord Yu, it wasn't my fault. I was forced! Someone threatened me at knifepoint to prescribe a slow-killing medicine for Xu Tiefeng—I didn't want to do it either."

Poor Zeng Hong, the grown man, dropped to his knees before Yu Feiyu with a thud.

"Scoundrel!"

"No wonder Tiefeng's health has been deteriorating over the years. Could the earlier statement that his condition was untreatable also be a lie?"

Tao Yongshan, the Martial King of the Xu Family, was utterly unforgiving. He was Elder Xu's bodyguard and had always treated Xu Tiefeng like his own son since they were children.

"Yes!"

"My esteemed lords, Xu Tierui forced me to do it; truly, you can't blame me."

Zeng Hong was flustered; he could feel the murderous aura emanating from Tao Yongshan.

"Chief Ye! Sect Leader Yu!"

"May I have the honor of dealing with him?"

Tao Yongshan suppressed the urge to kill boiling within him and asked through gritted teeth.

"I follow my master's instructions."

"Medicine can heal or kill. Xu Tiefeng has been taking it for years now, proving this man has not had a sliver of remorse. Devoid of a healer's compassion, saving him would be in vain."

These words effectively meant Zeng Hong was abandoned by Ye Feng.

Slain!

Tao Yongshan erupted in fury, striking Zeng Hong so forcefully that his body was embedded into the wall.

"Thank you, Chief Ye, for your indulgence!"

"Please save Tiefeng. I, Tao Yongshan, have nothing valuable except my life. Should you command it one day, I will face death without hesitation."

After calming his state of mind, Tao Yongshan suddenly knelt down before Ye Feng.

"This mess was caused by the Divine Doctor Sect."

"You come!"

To everyone's surprise, Ye Feng refused to take action, this time deciding to pass the decision to Yu Feiyu.
